G'day Roberto,

The tent is only designed to be used with the fly on, if the tent is set up without the fly there is no structural stability or guy rope attachment points so it's not something we'd recommend. The internal sides are just made from mesh, so if the fly wasn't on the tent there wouldn't be any privacy.

G'day Tania,

The Classic Dome 4 and the Escape Plus 4E are both great options. The Outdoor connection tent has a slightly different layout with an extended inner under the front sloped area of the tent. They also have a slightly higher waterhead rating on the fly. We'd happily recommend both of these tents and with only 2kg in weight different and 10cm in sleeping area we'd say it comes down to personal preference.

G'day John,

The Classic Dome 4 has blackout fabric, but it's not quite as dark as the Coleman Darkroom fabric. It should help to reduce light, but it won't completely block out all light as the darkroom does.

G'day David, 

The main points of difference with the Black Wolf comes with the Lifetime Warranty, and the higher grade 'No-See-Um Mesh' which is purported to be midgey proof, where as the Zempire Neo 4 has a more rigid Geodesic frame increasing the usability of space, and a higher waterhead rating.  If you're expecting to camp rain, hail or shine, I'd lean towards the Neo 4.  Having said that though, they are both great tents, and I think you'd be happy with which ever you choose.
